In Northern India, pakodas(dumplings) are added to the chickpea gravy and sour yogurt is added to add flavour to it. While is some parts of India kadhi is made with buttermilk as it gives a more smooth texture, in others it is made with sour yogurt. My recipe has evolved over the years, however my cooking still very much influenced by my mom cooking, only difference being that I like to add chopped spinach to the pakoras. Punjabi Kadhi can be enjoyed with plain white rice or chapati.

Note :

You can make the Pakoras (dumplings) before hand and freeze it. Just thaw for few minutes before use.

Also it is very important to whisk besan really good, you can use hand or electric mixer.

You can also make kadhi without pakoras/ dumplings, this version very popular in Rajasthan called “khatta”
